Military pension on 2nd career in public services

[Al R]

Heights Good,

F-AFPS will do away with any penalties relating to leaving HM Forces and then rejoining in a different capacity, and in addition, para l refers;

"Members transferring between public service schemes to be treated as having continuous Service". That may not be in keeping with your timescale though.

There are special terms anyway which apply to what is formally known as 'the public sector transfer club'. If you're going to become a firefighter, teacher or Chief Inspector(!), these might be useful to you.
